Reviews - Does it matter ?

Why do we always believe in the Worst Reviews....

For example, when you get a remark from your boss "Your document was excellent however I need 1,2,3 items to be changed"Does the Excellent stand in your mind or do you think about why you missed on the 1,2,3 items that were mentioned in the list and keep on thinking about that. If you choose the second option, then read on, otherwise,you are good and you can choose to ignore this post.

Though I admit that looking at and worrying about the 1,2,3 items makes us improve upon our mistakes, it is also necessary to acknowledge the fact that the other parts of the document were excellent.There are some people however who chose to ignore the Excellent part of it ! I am not saying "Be blind to the mistakes that were done when the overall performance is good". I am just saying that its good to appreciate the good part of it and learn from the mistakes done. Whenever we see that boss again, we tend to remember the mistakes that he pointed out about us and not the good reviews that he gave.Why should things be taken this way ? Why cant we learn to remember the good reviews and work upon the bad ones,improve ourselves and then forget all about them..that will be a good way to eliminate the negative energy in us.I know its better said than done !

Ultimately.... Watever you do, there will be some people making faces at what you did..You cannot please everyone. All that matters is your review of the work that you did !
